Effect of lithium on hypothalamic-pituitary dopaminergic function

Effect of lithium on hypothalamic-pituitary dopaminergic function

S Lal et al. Acta Psychiatr Scand. 1978 Jan.

Abstract

The effect of lithium on apomorphine-induced growth hormone secretion and haloperidol-induced prolactin secretion was examined in eight male subjects without history of manic-depressive illness. Lithium had no effect on baseline or drug-induced changes in serum growth hormone or prolactin concentrations. These data suggest that lithium does not alter hypothalamic-pituitary dopamine receptor function.
